Jello Recipes
Fruit and Yogurt Gelatin Dessert
If you are looking for diabetic jello recipes, you can make this delicious gelatin dessert, which combines sugar free jello with yogurt and fruit. Make sure you use sugar free yogurt and you have a healthy, tasty dessert or breakfast, whether you are diabetic, cooking for a diabetic, or simply trying to lower your sugar intake. Diet jello recipes can, and do, taste great.
You might be craving a strawberry whip cream jello dessert but this dessert is just as good. The yogurt gives a luxurious creaminess and the berries are sweet and tart at the same time. Sugar free jello might not contain sugar but it is sweet, and this sweetness contrasts beautifully with the berries and yogurt.
Yogurt and jello are great together, whether you are making a fluffy jello dessert, broken glass gelatin desserts or something else. This gelatin dessert can be made with any flavor of jello you like. It is best to use fresh berries for the garnish. If you cannot get fresh berries, use thawed berries but make sure you have drained all the water off them first, else they will make the yogurt too watery.

Using Yogurt in Jello Recipes
There are two reasons to use jello in jello recipes. First of all, it is a healthy alternative to cream. A yogurt gelatin dessert is likely to contain less fat and calories than one with cream. It contains good bacteria, which help with your digestive processes. Secondly, yogurt is very tasty and goes well with jello.
Types of Yogurt for Making Jello
You can use any kind of yogurt you like as a topping for jello. If you are making a savory jello salad, you might choose to use natural plain yogurt for its sharp, tart flavor. Any sweet flavor of yogurt is good for decorating jello molds or layered gelatin desserts.
